Hello, New here, placed an order and have some questions

[erath6870]

Hi everyone i found this site poking around on the web started reading a little bit and decided to place an order with silix.

I placed the order the 8th about 2 hours later Michelle had emailed me on how to pay which i did. Michelle then emailed me that payment had been received and would take 2-3 days to get the watch from the factory that was the last email i got. Its been about 5 days since that email. From all the reviews i saw silix looked very reputable. So my question would be is this normal :wyliehelp:

From what I read, delays are common. Wait it out a little longer opcorn:

This isn't Amazon. Patience is needed in the hobby

Be patient you'll get it. The TDs aren't here to scam anyone, and really there's no reason to. All the TDs here are great and here for a reason. If you have any issues, work it out with the TD or the board admin before anything else.

thank you for the reassurance, i liked the amazon reference :thumbsup:

They have to source the watch from the factory, QC it, take pics, etc. and that's not taking into account all the other orders they're surely processing.

And whatever you do, don't start sending frantic emails asking what's taking so long or that you're worried you got ripped off. You'll get your order, this isn't Amazon Prime.

Silix is a great dealer. No worries.

To quote the wise man Tom Petty: Waiting (Is the Hardest Part.)

Silix is a great TD. I ordered a watch. It didn't pass the QC process and Michelle returned the money to me. Patience is the name of the game.

THE waiting, is the hardest part......

Sillix

Hi There,

I did my home work before placing my first order which was with Sillix for an Omega Seamaster. From reading the reviews etc. I knew it could take a while, but when Silix finally came back to me and told me he couldn't get the model I had ordered, I did start to wonder.

Anyway, we did a great deal on a NOOB factory Rolex DSSD which I now wear as my daily wrist candy and could not be happier.

My only problem is deciding which watch to buy next....a nice pam or a Breitling.....mmmm decisions, decisions, decisions......lol.

I have no doubt that you will be absolutely fine with Sillix - stand up guy.

All the best,

James.
